I wouldn't say really positive. But it changed a daily slightly negative into a daily slightly positive.

At work I regularly need to take short notes. I like to fill the page to the full. But it gets messier and more complicated aa the day goes on. So I'd strike through and cross out notes I don't need anymore.
The thing is, crossing things out triggers a feeling of making mistakes. So instead of crossing out I started using check-marks (Dutch-style)., which feels like a succes and is also a quick fun flourish to draw. So small annoyances have turned into small victories.

Aside from the design of the flags, scrolling through these ones felt a bit like a colour blind test. Especially the demi-flags.

NPH dyeing his hair and eyebrows in an attempt to not be recognised.

To check whether it's raining

Would it see a car driving towards it or would it see a car reversing away from it?

Trump is just the convenient caricature of a puppet pushed forward to be the face and disorganise everything. When he dies he'll be replaced by someone else capable of filling that role. It wouldn't surprise me if the follow-up person is already known in their circles.

Trump is old and messed up. The propaganda rocketing him up can just as easily shoot him down. He is here to do damage and to disrupt and corrupt the system. He's here to weed out the failsafes against fascism/monarchy so a new political model can take over.

When he's done enough, someone else will step forward to rebuild and 'repair the damage' but only in such a way that the fascist/oligarchy gains more power and the majority of people lose more power.

I'd like to link two vids from a youtube channel which depicts neurodivergent behaviour in an accessible way. Note that these most definitely are not check lists or a diagnostic tool

It looks like a winky face and I interpret it as a sliding whistle doing the iconic falling sound

Yay, duck safety

Congrats!

My friends suicide. His life has shaped my life in many ways. His death even more so. 10 years this month.

My absolute favourite is Spirit Island. A co-op game where you work together defending your island and kicking out explorers and settlers. Expanding your presence and getting new powers along the way. Every game with new combinations.

When we got the game we played this more than once every week for over a year. With each game taking 1-3hours with our playstyle. Sometimes longer with four players (but that's partly because of not actively playing the game then). We play less now only because of moving with the renovation taking too much time.

Before I sit down on the toilet, I take a piece of toilet paper en wipe the brim. Not that it makes that much of a difference of how clean the brim is. But since doing that I ALWAYS notice if the roll's nearly empty. It's just the heads up you need to check stock and fix a new one before it's too late.

Early 00's I used to listen to my brothers playlist on Windows Media Player. One of the songs was a gloomy/trance(?) remix of classical music. He had named it (something) Beethoven mix.

On multiple occasions I tried searching for it. Both the mix and the original song to make the search easier. But since I'm not at home with classical music I couldn't figure out either of them. Not sure if it even was one of Beethovens pieces.

Jack Black. Inspires people to do what they love. Really knows how to gave fun and doesn't care if people think it's weird. And despite a lot of banal poop, penis, sex humour in the Tenacious D songs, they changed some lyrics in live shows to swap genders. Great example of nonchelant emancipation and equality.
